Toshiba spotlights contrast-free MRA
Providers can eliminate the use of gadolinium-based contrast by using new pulse sequences from Toshiba America Medical Systems. The angiography techniques rely on differences in the MR signal that distinguish blood and surrounding soft tissue.
Providers can eliminate the use of gadolinium-based contrast by using new pulse sequences from Toshiba America Medical Systems. The angiography techniques rely on differences in the MR signal that distinguish blood and surrounding soft tissue. The company showcased Fresh Blood Imaging, Contrast-free Improved Angiography, and Time-spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse, positioning these contrast-free imaging techniques as alternatives to gadolinium-based agents. The use of such agents has been associated with the occurrence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
Emerging AI Algorithm Shows Promise for Abbreviated Breast MRI in Multicenter Study
April 25th 2025An artificial intelligence algorithm for dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI offered a 93.9 percent AUC for breast cancer detection, and a 92.3 percent sensitivity in BI-RADS 3 cases, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Could AI-Powered Abbreviated MRI Reinvent Detection for Structural Abnormalities of the Knee?
April 24th 2025Employing deep learning image reconstruction, parallel imaging and multi-slice acceleration in a sub-five-minute 3T knee MRI, researchers noted 100 percent sensitivity and 99 percent specificity for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.
New bpMRI Study Suggests AI Offers Comparable Results to Radiologists for PCa Detection
April 15th 2025Demonstrating no significant difference with radiologist detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), a biparametric MRI-based AI model provided an 88.4 percent sensitivity rate in a recent study.
